Actually, the example is illegal. The compiler prints out now the error messages:
test/new/bug324.scala:2: view is potentially self-referential since its result type scala.List[S] is a subtype of its type parameter's view bound scala.Seq[S?]
   def view[S, T <% Seq[S]](xs: T): List[S] = xs.toList;
       ^
test/new/bug324.scala:4: type mismatch;
 found   : scala.Array[scala.Int]
 required: scala.List[scala.Int]
   Console.println(xs : List[Int])
                   ^
two errors found
